Had previously cast Hunter's Mark (bonus action to mark a target for extra 1d6 damage on a hit - 1 hour concentration spell).On round three of the combat I landed a critical hit and decided that would be a good time to lay down the divine smite.(1d8 longsword + 1d6 hunter's mark + 2d8 divine smite) dice doubled plus 3 (STR mod) plus 2 (dueling fighting style) = 49 damage and one beheaded half dragon BBEG.I've use lay on hands to keep folk vertical, almost always have hunter's mark active (lost concentration once in three total castings), and occasionally dropped a cure wounds spell when other healers couldn't do the job.The character's been a ton of fun. Hit 4th level last night. I'm expecting Heavy Armor Mastery to be a big boost to staying power.</blockquote>
